FEBRUARY 19, 1912 — From Lucile’s | } That Malcolm Cox, my erstwhile { #uitor, was married and to an eastern {girl whom 1 had never even seen | struck me as so droll that the moment 1 received the announcement of the wedding I determined to be the first one to entertain them when he brought his bride home to Chicago. i I decided to have them to dinner with just Uncle Bob and Betty to meet them, as 1 thought a small, in- timate party would be the most | friendly. My invitation was answered by a rather stiff little note from the bride. I took it to mother, thinking she would be amuzed Ly s primness. She read it and then cust one of her | reproachful glances at we. “Why, Lucile,” she exclaimed, “is it possible that you inviied company to dinper Saturday night? Didn't you remember that we are all going out to your Uncle John's farm for the week end?” “That's so; I had quite forgotten it,”” I said. “I'll have to stay at home, though.” “But I've promised Tilly a few days’ vacation at that time and so even if vou do stay at home I don't see how you can give a dinner party. I do wish you would consult me before you issue invitations.” “Oh, dear!” I sighed. “It seems to me that whenever I try to have a lit- tle pleasure something goes wrong.” “Well, dear, don't feel so badly,” sald mother, seeing the tears in my eyes. “Surely, you can postpone the dinner.” “No, I can't; it would be too awk- ward, for I don't know Malcolm's wife at all. But if Cousin Fannie will only stay at home from Uncle John's she and I can get up a nice little dinner and maybe Betty would bring her maid to walt on the table.” ° “Fannle {s so fond of the farm that I hate to ask her to give up the out- ing,” sald mother, in her undecided way. “Oh, I'll ask her, mother,” I return- ed. “She would enjoy going to the farm just as much some other time, I'm sure.” Saturday morning when grandmoth- er and father and mother were leav- Ing the house father was greatly sur- prised to find that Cousin Fannie and [ weren't going to the farm with the others. “Lucile had an engagement for to- night and Fannie is going to stay and act as chaperon,” explained mother. “I don't like it at all,” grumbled fa- ther. “Lucile, is this one of your—" “Don’t scold me, daddy, dear,” I in terrupted him. *“I simply have to keep my engagement. If it weren't for that I'd just love to go to Uncle John's with you. Next time you must surely take me. Anyway, I am saving you a little money by not going. The return trip fare is $5, isn't it? It you'll just give me that amount, I won't have to ask you for anything extra on this week's allowance, as I was afraid I'd have to do.” He handed me a &5 bill. “I can’t qu®: understand your system of fi- nance,” he said as he kissed me good- by, but he laughed and I felt glad that his vexation had passed away. | think I understand father even better than mother does. A few minutes after the family left, Betty telephoned me that she and Uncle Bob had just got my note ask- ing them to dinner, but they couldn't come for they had promised to go out to the farm also. She said she wished that I had invited them earlier so they could have arranged to come, as she wasn't very keen on going to the farm. “It’s too bad you can'’t come, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the visit to Uncle John's,” I sald comfortingly. “By the way, dear, will you please tell Molly to come over this afternoon in time to help set the table?” “Yes,” she snapped, as she hung up the receiver. Betty’s manners are un- {gracloul. to say the least. The dinner was very good. I made |the mayonnaise and whipped the | cream for the dessert. Malcolm {seemed very much impressed when I ‘told him that I had prepared the din- oer myself with Cousin Fannie'’s help. ‘ “You are adding cooking to your !other accomplishments,” he said. “That's what my wife is going to do, aren'’t you, dear?” “Yes,” she answered quietly. She was very quiet, indeed, and the more Malcolm and [ talked and laughed over some of the good old lum we used to have the stiller she 1 really don't see how Malcolm ever party once, Malcolm and I ran away |« @ OFRIRIVFRIVPRECIOIOPOFOIC OIVIVEOFOTO D 1o - by ourselves late one evening for a |3 s 8 ' moonlight row and in our haste to get | % lakeland Artiflc‘al Stone WOI'I\ | into the boat, I fell into the water and | S | he carried me, dripping, back to the | & Near Electric Light Plant | house, where every one thought him §' MAKES | quite a hero for rescuing me, for they didn't kow that the Water was o:el‘si' g RED CEMENT PRESSED BRI( |k a foot deep where I fell. ‘e laug 4 beartily at the recollection, but she | g CALL AND SEE THEM.

To remove winter clothing from closets and trunks only to find them riddled with small un- darnable holes, the work of the house pests, is enough to break the bhouse keeper's heart. These destructive insects alike the town and country, Naturalists recognize three distinct species of clothes moth, It is not the moths themselves, however, who do the damage, but their tiny grubs or caterpillars. ‘The worst of these species are the webbing clothes moths. These sub- sist upon furs, woolen materials, feathers, linings and many other tab- rics. This moth has pale yellow wings and may be noticed any time from March until October. Two broods of this type are produced during that time. The caterpillar spins a siiken tun- nel as it progresses in its destruction. Finally it forms a cocoon and ends its | days of eating.
